Even though they said my sample wasn't up to their specs, other people who saw what I made thought they were great, it got me started on doing my own earrings by collecting books and patterns for the beading world of jewelry making, sure it can be hard on your body and eyes but it's worth it, I have an Etsy acct and Ebay acct trying to sell them but there's also hundreds of sites selling jewelry worldwide so getting orders can be hard, I can make a pair w/o stopping in an hour, plus there's hundreds of patterns out there to try.
